The Lily

Shire of Gnowangerup, Australia

The Lily, also known as The Lily Dutch Windmill, is a tower mill located near the towns of Amelup and Borden in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. It is one of Australia's few working traditional windmills. The Lily is a 16th-century Dutch design windmill of brick construction with 24.6-metre (81 ft) diameter sails. It was built by Dutch born Pleun Hitzert between 1991 and 1997. The Lily is a flour mill equipped with one set of millstones. It is the only working windmill of traditional construction on mainland Australia. Its uniqueness in the Australian landscape combined with the proximity of the Stirling Range has made The Lily a popular tourist landmark.
